Groups not working, issue with .interface?

Hi Foto50,
I am trying to get jopensim to work, but I am running into a problem:
Opensim log says: "Groupmodule not found".
As far as I can tell all my opensim.ini settings are correct.

Reading through this forum I read that
http://localhost/joomla/components/com_opensim/interface.php?test=getgroup
should give a sensible answer,
but it says:
function not found
no response for getgroup
Functionblock: unknown

I am running on Windows Vista, Xampp 1.7.7., php 5.3.8, MySQL 5.516, Opensim 0.7.2 in Gridmode

Can you confirm that the .interface should reply different with ?test.getgroup ??
Do you have an idea how I can solve this?

Thank you for your help,
kind regards,
Caro

Hi carothart

..?test=getgroup should indeed give a different message (even if error message) than this.

I probably found a bug in interface.php concerning windows server: there are several lines including the functions without Joomla's way for "dash" compability.

E.g. in line 245 it says:but for compability it should say:
There are many lines like this. For a test (on a windows server), you also can simply try to replace all "/" in absolute paths with "\" (e.g. "includes/functions_groups.php" --> "includes\functions_groups.php") and see if this solves it for now.

But sure I will add this as an additional bugfix into the next version! Thanks very much for pointing me to this

Ho Foto50,
I tried that, but it does not seem to work. (Please note that I know nothing of php, I just try to understand what is going on)
In the interface.log it says:


########## 14.02.2012 12:33:00 ##### response for unbekannt ##########
'
response for unknown method :

\'\''

Any ideas?

Hi carothart

Is there maybe any other useful message in the webservers error logfile?

Hi Foto50,
Looked at that, changing apache loglevel to debug.
Accesslog shows:

Errorlog shows nothing regarding interface.php

Hi carothart

Could it be that I'm blind or "blinkered" ...

The correct test is notit should be
This at least should give some message like:

[error] => Must specify GroupID or Name

... if you add e.g. &GroupID=<key-of-group> or &Name=<name-of-group> ... it should return the groups data for it. See for example:
